My first outfit post in (yeah, that's right!) NYC! So first, I would like to apologize for the ridiculous lag in posts, as I've been packing and unpacking and attending orientation sessions.

I've already met so many wonderful people, including a reader from North Carolina (Hi Hana!) and I can't wait to meet more and make more new friends.

As for the outfit, I decided to go for a utilitarian look on this shopping day with Heather (the very few purchases I made will be popping up in posts sometime or later haha). This MaxMara skirt is PERFECT because of its versatile lantern shape, but my favorite feature has to be that it doesn't need to be ironed. I'm serious. Even if I wrinkle it, it "self-irons" and, as soon as one day, is completely fine if laid out. I love it.

As for the awesome fake tattoo, FAKETATTOOS.SE sent me some of their cool products and included was a set of different sized triangles. Although it may have been intended for one tattoo, I decided to cut it up and create my own geometric pattern (what do you think?)

Oooohlala!You look so chic and sleek in the city that never sleeps Jessica! :)

I love the fact that your skirt doesn't wrinkle no matter what you put it through. That sounds super handy and convenient.Your simple tank and vest paired with that awesome unwrinkling skirt as well as simple black boots and a lovely collar necklace look so mature and gorgeous! You look ready to take on New York in a fashionable way!!

And I love that fake tattoo! It adds a nice tribal touch that plays off the brownish tones of your vest and tank.
